What you need to know

The $6 billion body care and deodorant market has shown fairly stable growth in recent years. Near universal routine usage of deodorant and body care presents both opportunities and challenges for future growth. Spray formats, natural formulations, and the integration of added benefits have propelled consumer interest in the market. High engagement among women and 18-34-year-olds should continue to underpin the market, while focused outreach to aging Boomers and Hispanics may also build sales.
